Breaking down the baseball dynasty draft

If you were to build a fantasy baseball team from scratch, how would you craft a roster? Would you target youth and hope for continued success or put the focus on winning now and draft the studs you know will produce in 2013?

Ten of ESPN's most dedicated baseball minds participated in a 10-team dynasty draft and two of the participants, David Schoenfield of the Sweetspot blog and Tristan H. Cockcroft of ESPN Fantasy, the first 200 picks and discuss the picks and teams destined for success.

Topics include:

• Why Mike Trout is the obvious first pick for a dynasty draft and whether the remainder of the first round played out the way both believed it would.

• Cockcroft argues that Braun, with his strong batting average, would be his pick in a one-year fantasy draft this year over Trout.
